I'd say it's the angle, all of them had fairly underdeveloped manes, they were very young, but he and the 5th male had the bushier manes, Hip scar next.

DM has eyes that were very distinct like slanted at an angle like ron from the notch boys, I don't know why a lot of post were saying that HIP SCAR was the number 4 which only happened after he hurt his hip n could no longer keep up as w/ his bros! if you look at kinky tail video its hip scar that has kinky tail by head. when they first arrived in sabi sands HS was NR2 behind DM. GM was the youngest and was always the bros outside looking in. but no matter the case they were the only coalition that seemed to know that they were stronger together!! something the Birmingham boys hasn't realized!

I've heard that too.  HS was higher up the pecking order in his earlier years which makes sense.  He's a big powerful lion and was at the forefront of the scrap with sand river males and with the mapogos.  Reports I have read speculate that he was number 2 at one point behind DM as you say and then ended up at the bottom.  The hip injury would definetely have impacted this (not being able to patrol as much etc) Based on the limited information we have from blogs, YT and social media, I always saw the majings as:

5th majing - Don't know much about him, was apparently the most dominant until he got over confident
DM - The ruler.  Top shagger.  The bro that steals all the women.  Loyal and a vital foot soldier.  One of the most active when it came to territorial patrols.  Very big and dominant lion.
HS - Strong, powerful and aggressive fighter.  Was more dominant at one point but in the later years he seemed to spend a lot of time with the cubs and play the nice uncle to what was probably DM's cubs....maybe he resigned to the fact that his hip was busted
SN- loyal footsoldier.  Patroller.  Aggressive and DM's right hand man.  SN was the glue that held DM to the others.
GM- don't know as much about him.  He was younger but apparently ended up higher up the pecking order by the time they all got old? got the impression he was aloof and ruthless when it came to cubs and rival male offspring / sub adults

What's everyone else's thoughts? Reply
